If you are one for the unconventional, then you might want to look into marine collagen for your skin regimen which Xtend-Life’s Skin Support provides. With the reputation that the company has for providing top-of-the-line supplements, this just might be the addition you need for your beauty regimen. So, let’s look at the finer points to see if it is indeed worth investing in.
Xtend-Life
Xtend-Life Natural Products is the brainchild of a father and son team from New Zealand. They found that the best way to promote the delivery of vitamins and minerals in their purest form is to control every step of the process. They did extensive research with the approach that hinges on using science to get the best out of nature.
The brand has always been commended for their extensive research to deliver top quality products that are also GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)-certified. The company also performs extensive ingredient/product testing to ensure that it doesn’t only deliver, but is also safe to use. Having been in operation for several years, Xtend-Life has also made its distinction in the industry, earning several positive remarks. In that context, there is an anticipation that Skin Support should be able to deliver quality results.
Skin-Support
This product throws the usual lines on to the table, such as promoting smooth and youthful skin by addressing concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, dryness and spots. The brand also gas a gamut of skin care products, but this supplement claims to do the work from the inside; that is to promote a better skin structure.
What the brand is driving at is the fact that people often fail to recognize that skin care should start right down to the structures that support it – collagen and elastin. Topical creams can do their job, but restoring the network that lies beneath the surface prevents the skin from falling in over itself, hence the wrinkles and saggy skin. To avoid this from happening, the collagen and elastin matrix need to be strengthened to support the skin better.
You can have a plethora of products slathered on your skin, but when you fail to take care of the structure that holds it up you might unknowingly be holding back the results from all your effort. This explains why a lot of women end up frustrated seeing that their products don’t seem to work, or it only does less than half of what they expect to happen.
Xtend-Life’s Skin-Support is an exclusive skin nutrition formula that can target your usual skin concerns with its two key ingredients. One is a special kind of marine collagen and elastin polypeptides called CollactiveTM, and the other is Grape Seed Extract.
Key Ingredients
Collactive
Xtend-Life claims to provide in every capsule, pure collagen sources, with extracts derived from fishes that inhabit the far north Atlantic like Polloc, Haddock, Cod, and Plaice Skin. This shows the company’s effort in providing the public with pure collagen supplementation which is not only beneficial to the skin but to the rest of the body as well.
Collactive combines the two main components of the matrix that makes up the internal structure of the skin – collagen and elastin. These two create a synergistic action that gives the dermis (or the second the layer of the skin) its suppleness and tensile strength. Furthermore, collagen peptides also increase the production of hyaluronic acid and improve skin barrier function.
The Collactive that is found in Xtend-Life’s formula is clinically-proven, hydrolyzed and non-GMO. So, on that aspect, you get to tone and hydrate without undermining your safety brought by questionable sources and processing methods.
Grape Seed Extract
This ingredient brings the antioxidant action into the mix. If Collactive strengthens the structure, this ingredient helps create the right environment for skin restoration as it rids the body of free radicals.
Xtend-Life uses their home-grown grapes because by some twist of nature, the ozone hole found over the southern part of the country exposes these vines to higher radiation. This makes the grapes highly potent in antioxidants. Adding to that, grape seed extract is also a good source of oligomeric procyanidins (OPSs) which is a type of flavonoid that binds with free oxygen radicals in the body. Let’s just say that when these components help your system get rid of the gunk, the change eventually radiates on the surface.
Together, these two key ingredients make up the dual action formula to stave off wrinkles and skin breakdown by promoting collagen and elastin regeneration. A good selling point for this product is that it does not use collagen from questionable sources such as pigs and cows. The latter does not give direct benefits because the molecular size of these types of collagen are too big to be effectively assimilated into the body. Furthermore, these are also not hydrolized which is an important step for it to provide some benefits.
How it Delivers
A bottle of Xtend-Life’s Skin-Support contains 90 100mg-capsules. The serving might be cumbersome for some people since you have to take 3 capsules daily. You can either take the capsules all in one sitting or space them out through the day.
With continued use, it is said to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promote the growth of stronger hair and nails. If you want to create a change on the surface, this can be a good supplement to your creams and serums as it works “behind the scenes.”
The brand also assures you to confidently use Skin-Support because they ensure that you are getting the change you want using pure ingredients. As a consumer, it is worth knowing that by continuously taking this supplement, you are not undermining your health in pursuit of beauty. Hence, it is refreshing that there are products that don’t give you a bunch of fillers and substandard ingredients.
At a market price of $34.45, you can say that you are paying for quality. It is also mentioned on their website that Skin-Support combines well with their Zupafood products and Omega-3, a clever marketing strategy, or another way to give you the improvement you need.
Where to order
The retail price for a bottle of Skin-Support is mid-range, but if you avail the Member Price by signing-up on their website, you can get it for $31.01 only.
Feedback
There hasn’t been much that can be found on Xtend-Life’s Skin-Support on the web. Reviews are mostly found on the company’s website, but it is worth noting that they do have excellent customer service. So should anything go awry, you can easily call them and get your money back risk-free. They assure customers of a 365-Day money back guarantee.
What I also like about the product is its no frills ingredients list. It contains two key ingredients but it doesn’t offer you a plethora of benefits either, that easily sounds too good to be true. From what I learned, its claims is in keeping with research-based findings.
Drawback
Skin-Support is relatively new to the market which is why there isn’t much written about it yet. However, if you are brave enough to try, they have a good system to protect customers in case they are unsatisfied with results.
Final Word
Xtend-Life’s Skin Support is indeed a product that offers impressive action, but is unfortunately short on results to show for it. However, if you look at it based on the reputation that the brand has, you can say that that there is a lot of promise to the product. They are not one to undermine research in substantiating their claims, and they ensure that they give the market quality products made from premium ingredients.
Overall, this product offers a lot of promise but only on paper. However, it is indeed a supplement worth trying because Xtend-Life has always been reputed to develop safe supplements. I’d say, this has the makings of a beauty secret you can add to your arsenal!
